How do you install lxml on OS X Leopard without using MacPorts or Fink?

Question

I\'ve tried this and run in to problems a bunch of times in the past. Does anyone have a recipe for installing lxml on OS X without MacPorts or Fink that definitely works?<

Answer 1

On OS X 10.9.1 the suggested answer above errors out during install -- following changes had to be made:

cd /tmp  
curl -o lxml-3.3.0.tgz http://lxml.de/files/lxml-3.3.0.tgz  
tar -xzvf lxml-3.3.0.tgz  
cd lxml-3.3.0  
python setup.py build --static-deps --libxml2-version=2.8.0  --libxslt-version=1.1.24  
sudo python setup.py install
